I've been working on one of these, except in lemon blossoms, which have a purple tint to the blooms. I've learned that the waxing step can aid in perfecting the shape of the blossoms, adding a smooth, end-heavy slight bulb shape. just redip the end til you have the buildup you want.
This store is mind-blowing! To think that they are so generous with putting up their tutorials on line, says something about how cool they are! I've been a customer for many years, and missed them so much when I lived in Europe. They bring the best all in one shop!
This is one of the most detailed wonderful tutorials I've ever watched! Thank you so much for taking the time in sharing this. I'm getting married in April & have wanted an original orange blossom wreath for my hair but cannot afford one they are so expensive. I was looking for a way to make my own as I am a Victorian enthusiast & have always found these wax bud crowns & accessories so beautiful! I am very crafty & a former florist so with your help I will be making my dream come true & crafting my own orange blossom wedding head piece! I have hair to my ankles & want to do a traditional up-do with the wax wreath of flowers. This is so exciting..... I cannot wait to get started. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!
This reminds me if Queen Victoria's wedding head piece. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I may try it for my niece's wedding for my 3 year old great niece to wear.
Wax orange blossoms were really popular in the 50's as wedding hair pieces too. Would they have been made in the same way as this? I have my Grandmother's piece she wore, but the wax is quite thick so it's difficult to know if I was made in this way.
Unfortunately the template is no longer available, and Castle in the Air no longer sells retail. Does anyone have any advice on how to get the template?

This sounds absolutely divine! I assume your wedding has happened, how did it go? Is it possible to see photos?
I love the 19th too ☺
One of the best floral tutorials I've seen! And I've seen a lot!. Thank you.
Awesome! So glad I came across this site! I've been wanting to recreate the vintage waxed orange blossom bridal headpieces. Many thanks!

What sort of preservation technique would you use for tissue paper flowers?
Unfortunately the template is no longer available, and Castle in the Air no longer sells retail.

which wax to b used ?very nice work
Thank you!! We use beeswax for dipping our flowers. We also have all the supplies you need available for sale on our online shop.
pls upload more and more videos
8 pieces of each leaf color cut in half gives twice the number of needed leaves. Also the kit from their store doesn't give you enough supplies.
too bad the template isn't available any more, the only templates on the link are melon box, hydrangea, and rose. : (
Dear Kate, I'm sorry about that! I'll have to look into it and see what happened.
